The South Eastern steel plant in Xuzhou, Liguo Town, has previously been named “one of the top 10 private enterprises in Jiangsu Province” and has received numerous rewards from the local government. <p>Against the background of rapid economic development in Jiangsu Province, China, large scale high energy consumption industries are being sustained by local government. As a result Jiangsu Province's use of coal makes up over 70% of its total energy usage. Under pressure from the Yangzi River Delta Pollution Control Policy, the traditional high-polluting industries are confronted with the difficulties of transformation. Statistics have shown that in 2014 Jiangsu Province still had big industries that exceeded the national standard for emissions. The most notable offenders are the coal, steel and chemical industries.</p><p></p><p>In northern Jiangsu, whilst the pollution left over from old industrial cities still has not been cleaned up, new industrial parks are further expanding the damage done by pollution. As the focus on GDP fades, the price paid for industrial development is becoming clear. It is reflected in the physical health of the residents, young and old, of areas surrounding the factories</p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/publications/campaigns/Oceans/0.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/publications/campaigns/Oceans/1.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/publications/campaigns/Oceans/3.jpg" alt="" /></p>Mon, 01 Jun 2015 10:32:00 Zclimate & energyamcgurka818ea13-6aa7-4a9b-963c-5e9b1c047df3http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/multimedia/slideshows/oceans/africas-fisheries-paradise-at-a-cross-road/Africa's fisheries' paradise at a crossroadsFisheries are an important sector in many West African countries especially in terms of livelihood and food security. Yet, the lack of efficient fisheries management systems and weak governance by West African governments have allowed distant water fishing companies to plunder marine resources at a low cost and with quasi impunity. In just under 30 years, Chinese companies have expanded their fishing operations in Africa from 13 vessels in 1985 to 462 vessels in 2013. Since 1985, Chinese bottom trawlers rapidly expanded. Fish were sold to European, African and Asian market. However, these Chinese fishing companies had quite a shady history. Over 15 years, 183 cases of illegal, unregulated and undocumented cases have been documented. These companies have been lying about their size of vessels, fishing without licenses, operating in forbidden areas and using illegal nets. Even while West Africa was fighting Ebola, Greenpeace witnessed Chinese fishing companies committing infractions every two days and urged these cases to be investigated immediately. And for future of sustainable ocean, a stricter fisheries regulatory framework based on principles and objectives of sustainability must be enforced. <p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/photos/oceans/amigo-2015/artisanal-fishing-pirogues.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/photos/oceans/amigo-2015/woman-at-soumbedioune-fish-market.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/photos/oceans/amigo-2015/senegalese-women-waiting-for-fish-to-buy.jpg" alt="" /></p>Wed, 20 May 2015 02:00:00 Zoceansyshendc1e0bfb-2f47-43ef-8b6b-83089f5f7658http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/multimedia/slideshows/climate-energy/flagship-coal-to-gas-plant/Beijing's flagship coal-to-ga​s plan to cut smog breaks China's rules on water and air pollutionChina’s flagship coal-to-gas pilot project is already breaking national standards on air and water pollution - according to an on-the-ground investigation by Greenpeace China.<p></p><p>China’s flagship coal-to-gas pilot project is already breaking national standards on air and water pollution - according to an on-the-ground investigation by Greenpeace China.<br /><br />China is considering more than 50 new coal to gas projects in a move partially designed to reduce air pollution.<br /><br />The process is extremely carbon intensive and recent analysis suggests the projects undermine a recent China-US agreement on tackling climate change<br /><br />Domestically the plans have sparked concerns about water use and local pollution.</p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/photos/climate-energy/coal/hexigten-qi-project.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/photos/climate-energy/coal/toxic-wastewater.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/photos/climate-energy/coal/empty-seepage-pit.jpg" alt="" /></p>Mon, 24 Nov 2014 08:49:00 Zclimate & energyyshen86b517f7-b5f2-4fe0-8f7e-7a1beb55ef10http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/multimedia/slideshows/climate-energy/red-wall-palace-in-qinghai/Red wall palace in Qinghai2 July 2014 - Qinghai - Located in the northern part of Chi-lien Mountains in Tibetan Plateau, Muli Mine in aerial images belongs to Tianjun County and Gangcha County of Qinghai Province.

Greenpeace is urging LEGO to cut ties with Shell and help 'Save the Arctic." For the last few years Shell has been using LEGO’s brand to clean up its image as an Arctic oil driller. 16 million Shell branded LEGO sets have been sold or given away at petrol stations in 26 countries. It’s not only helped Shell sell more petrol (7.5% rise during the promotion) it is also starting to build brand loyalty with the next generation of consumers, voters, investors, business leaders and politicians. That’s why Greenpeace says: If you want to stop Shell polluting the Arctic, you have to stop Shell polluting our kids’ minds.<p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/photos/climate-energy/lego-against-shell/lego-in-mainland-china1.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/photos/climate-energy/lego-against-shell/lego-in-mainland-china2.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/eastasia/photos/climate-energy/lego-against-shell/lego-in-hongkong1.jpg" alt="" /></p>Wed, 09 Jul 2014 08:22:00 Zclimate & energyyshendc5cfdd3-6d39-4467-b632-4a140da101fehttp://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/multimedia/photos/toxics/toxic-free-future-china/The best investment you'll ever makeA Greenpeace activist holds a banner, in front of Adidas' flagship store in a shopping district of Beijing, urging the sports apparel giant to consider detoxifying their products.

The year before he planted 20 mu of land, but could only irrigate 15 mu (1 hectare). Now he's planted 15 mu but could only irrigate 8. The groundwater levels drop every year and it doesn't rain. Corn planted over a month ago still hasn't started to sprout. For ten years, the Chinese state-run organisation Shenhua Group, has been exploiting water resources at a shocking scale from the Ordos grasslands to use in its coal-to-liquid project (a process for producing liquid fuel from coal) and illegally dumping toxic industrial waste water. Shenhua's operations have sparked social unrest and caused severe ecological damage including desertification, impacting farmers and herders who are facing reduced water supplies in what was once an abundant farming area.<p>This year’s World Water Day marks the launch of the 5th United Nations World Water Development Report (WWDR) on the theme of water and energy. Coal remains a top energy producer world-wide. Its connection to water is a parasitic one. It drains our precious water supplies and spits back polluted skies, lakes, streams and rivers, both in its processing and production. The following pictures are a journey through the lives of people (their homes and their lands) who have been directly affected by coal power production. These are people and places which already suffer from water-scarcity but now see their livelihoods and health hung in the balance of an outmoded means of energy production.</p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/international/photos/slide show/World Water Day 2014/GP04OX9.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/international/photos/slide show/World Water Day 2014/GP047AC.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><img src="http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/ReSizes/ImageGalleryLarge/Global/international/photos/slide show/World Water Day 2014/GP047AA.jpg" alt="" /></p>Sat, 22 Mar 2014 11:00:00 Zclimate & energyayallop5e4f0358-dce7-4241-97a0-908354e29e24http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/multimedia/slideshows/toxics/detox-message-goes-global/Latest Detox message goes global: toxic-free fashion everywhere!Greenpeace activists scale the GAP store front in Taipei, Taiwan, unfurling a 3-meter long banner reading “GAP, Detox Now!” during the company’s ribbon-cutting ceremony.
